Seems stupid, but I can’t see why this should be illegal.

He’s going to find out why.

He’s also on the hook for the required NTSB investigation.

You’re probably right about the “required NTSB investigation”, but if he removed the airplane... I dunno.

Really??? He drained most of the fuel before the flight. Before he let his "illegal airplane", crash in the mountains of Southern California. If the tanks had been full; presto, you have another California wild fire...

Plenty of youtube videos on this. It was a "Taylor Craft" plane, he totally wasted it. He hired a helicopter to fly the wreckage out before he posted his video.
